five keys ling, ting, tong

my commercial 45 for the five keys song issued as capitol
2945 has, at the beginning, the breath right before they
start singing.....the cdr version i have from, i believe
the 'doo wop' box set does NOT contain the
breath.....question is, do any of the cd's contain the
breath before the song starts, like the 45 does?

john, (yah shure) was kind enough to forward me a copy of
his cd version with the count-off.....if you edit the first
:02.10 seconds and capture the breath before the songs
starts, you can effectively re-create the true vinyl 45
version...thanks john for your help on this one!!!

Funny you should mention that, David. I had an idea after getting Ed's response last night: a 99-track compilation CD, titled Every Breath You Take, comprised of nothing but the opening breaths from all the singles which had left them intact.

Imagine how many clearance hoops there would be to jump through. Then there's the matter of finding the best tape sources, having to decide to go with mono or stereo...

Still, the inital reactions from all those licensing people would be so worth it:

"You want to... what?"

Great ringtones, though!

You say that as if some of us are able to get that part of our brains on and off the clock at will. ;)

"High Enough" is a good pick! Hadn't gotten that 45 off the shelf since probably 1992 or so.

My nomination fell short of the pop top 40 (#69) but did manage a #35 AC showing in 1980: Karla Bonoff's "Baby Don't Go."

Speaking of that "getting stupid" notion: while on one of those typical daisy-chain YouTube journeys a few hours ago, I came across a posting of an Every Brothers song that the poster listed as the original version of "The Air That I Breath." (sic):
